Study Habits

When we talk about study habits we refer to the strategies that the student has to acquire significant knowledge. The way to approach the subject on this occasion will be to identify the "study habits" of nursing students of the basic degrees and careers offered by the Centro Universitario de Ciencias de la Salud in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. It is important to recognize that at least in Latin America, universities that offer professional training do not have learning units related to study methods or forms that can be useful to new students (most of them), and the problem becomes more acute when the contents are extensive and with very specialized terminology. In the present publication we realize how the different groups of students, one at the undergraduate level, manage habits that allow them to obtain a satisfactory passing grade, while most of the students at the graduate level find it difficult to pass learning units with very technical contents, for example: anatomy, biochemistry, microbiology, among others.
